Kenny Shiels has issued an apology after claiming his Northern Ireland women's side conceded quick-fire goals because they are "more emotional" than men.
The former Kilmarnock and Morton manager has come under fire after making the bizarre remark following his team's World Cup qualifying defeat to England on Tuesday night.
Pundits and fans have lined up to slam Shiels' view that there is an "emotional imbalance" in the women's game that leads to goals being shipped in clusters.
